Cable Incline Bench Row Strength Standards Calculator
Compare your Cable Incline Bench Row strength with Endura's strength standards for men and women at your bodyweight. A useful benchmark for a good one-rep max is our Intermediate standard: approximately 103 lb at 190 lb for a man and 57 lb at 150 lb for a woman.
How does your best lift compare? Enter your bodyweight, the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance, and the reps you completed below. The calculator estimates your one-rep max and shows your strength level for your bodyweight. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range.
The calculator compares that estimated one-rep max with the Cable Incline Bench Row standards for your sex at your bodyweight. Use the result to compare sets performed with the same equipment and movement rules. The benchmark is a comparison target, not a working-set prescription.
What Is a Good Weight for Cable Incline Bench Row?
A useful Endura benchmark for Cable Incline Bench Row is the Intermediate level. At the reference bodyweights used by this model, Intermediate begins around 103 lb for a 190 lb man and 57 lb for a 150 lb woman. These are estimated one-rep-max comparison targets, not universal starting weights or measured population averages.
Enter the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance. Keep the same convention when comparing sets. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Enter your bodyweight, exact exercise weight, and valid reps to see how your set compares with the bodyweight-adjusted standards and the next target.
Your Cable Incline Bench Row result compares your estimated one-rep max with strength targets adjusted for your sex and exact bodyweight. The result is still specific to Cable Incline Bench Row; it should not be treated as a rating for a nearby exercise.
A heavier lifter receives higher target weights, but those targets do not rise pound-for-pound with bodyweight. This is why the calculator uses your exact bodyweight instead of assigning every lifter’s tier from one fixed bodyweight ratio.
Cable Incline Bench Row Strength Standards
Use the men’s or women’s table and find the row closest to your bodyweight for a quick reference. For an exact result, enter your bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps into the calculator. It will estimate your one-rep max, identify your strength level, and show the next target to pursue.
Enter the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance. Use the same cable station and setup when comparing sets. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Put an incline bench in front of the cable station with its high end facing the straight-bar attachment. Fix the pulley height, bench angle and placement before the counted set. Lie chest-down on the bench with feet braced. Grip the bar with both hands and begin with arms under controlled tension at the repeatable near-full-reach position. Keep the chest and torso fixed to the pad; pull the bar toward the chest or lower ribs by driving elbows back and retracting the shoulder blades. The finish must be clear and repeatable without curling, shrugging, or losing chest contact. Return the bar under control to the same starting range.
Endura built these standards from reviewed Cable Incline Bench Row targets and adjusts them for different bodyweights. They are practical benchmarks for this exact test—not population averages.

How the Cable Incline Bench Row Calculator Works
Enter your sex, bodyweight, weight lifted, and reps. The calculator estimates your one-rep max from the set, then compares that estimate with the Cable Incline Bench Row targets for your exact bodyweight. A one-rep entry uses the entered weight directly.
The bodyweight adjustment starts with reviewed targets for a 190 lb man and a 150 lb woman. For example, the men’s Advanced target is 123 lb at 150 lb bodyweight, 144 lb at 190 lb, and 164 lb at 230 lb. That is why the calculator needs your exact bodyweight instead of using one fixed bodyweight ratio for everyone.
Elite Cable Incline Bench Row Strength Levels
Elite Cable Incline Bench Row strength means reaching the Elite target for your sex and exact bodyweight while following the calculator’s accepted testing rules. The target increases as bodyweight increases, but not pound-for-pound, so use the calculator for your exact Elite and Stretch targets.
| Sex | Bodyweight | Elite begins | Stretch begins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 150 lb | 158 lb | 187 lb |
| Men | 190 lb | 185 lb | 219 lb |
| Men | 230 lb | 210 lb | 249 lb |
| Women | 120 lb | 93 lb | 114 lb |
| Women | 150 lb | 108 lb | 132 lb |
| Women | 180 lb | 122 lb | 149 lb |
Cable Incline Bench Row Strength Compared to Other Lifts
Use these comparisons to see how your Cable Incline Bench Row strength carries over when the implement, starting position, or finish changes. Test each movement under its own rules so every result reflects the exercise you actually performed.
Compare the strength levels each calculator gives you instead of assuming the same weight means the same thing in different exercises. A meaningful gap can point you toward the part of the movement worth working on next.

Milestones in Cable Incline Bench Row Strength
Enter the selected or displayed cable-stack resistance. Use the same cable station and setup when comparing sets. Count 1–5 whole repetitions with both sides moving together through the same controlled range. Put an incline bench in front of the cable station with its high end facing the straight-bar attachment. Fix the pulley height, bench angle and placement before the counted set. Lie chest-down on the bench with feet braced. Grip the bar with both hands and begin with arms under controlled tension at the repeatable near-full-reach position. Keep the chest and torso fixed to the pad; pull the bar toward the chest or lower ribs by driving elbows back and retracting the shoulder blades. The finish must be clear and repeatable without curling, shrugging, or losing chest contact. Return the bar under control to the same starting range.
